The death toll from an explosion that occurred at a school in Abuja has increased to two.
Media reported the explosion at the Tsangayar Sani Uthman Islamic School in the Bwari Area Council of Abuja on Monday afternoon. A security source had confirmed the death of one person, a student, in the explosion.
However, a police force information report obtained by journalists showed that Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) killed two people and injured two others.
The information about the explosion got to a Divisional Police Officer who mobilised police operatives, including officials from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to the scene.
A gory picture of the incident was also shared with our reporter.
In the report, the police said the three people from Katsina had visited the owner of the Islamiya, Adamu Ashimu. According to them, the visitors came with the explosives.
“Two of them died in the explosion,” the police stated, adding the other person was critically injured and hospitalised.
Mr Ashimu, the owner of the Islamic school, has been arrested, the police said, noting that he will be “interrogated immediately and the outcome would be forwarded.”
